Mechanical umbrella

Umbrellas have a special place in the wardrobe of women. In the modern world, this element is not only a functionally convenient weather protection, but also a stylish accessory. He is obliged to combine versatility, as well as the possibility of comfortable and reliable use. That is why most often the choice of girls falls on comfortable and durable mechanical umbrellas, which not only easily fit into a handbag, but also often have a spectacular design.

It is still not known exactly when and where exactly the first umbrella in history appeared. Such devices were actively used by people even before our era. Some experts claim that Babylon or Assyria became their homeland. The most common version is the Ancient East.

Previously, for residents of many countries, an umbrella was a confirmation of the status of its owner. The richer it was decorated, the more servants covered their master with this accessory, the more noble was the family of its owner. The materials for the umbrella could be a wide variety of raw materials: from papyrus and silk to leather.

Advances in the creation of a mechanical umbrella were first made in England by Jonas Henway back in 1756. He used fish bones as knitting needles for the product, and this device had a mass of up to 4.5 kg. Remarkably, Jonas was the first man to publicly use an umbrella, because until that time this accessory was exclusively for women.

In the 19th century, the Englishman S. Fox, using the same technique, managed to make metal knitting needles in the form in which they are used in the present tense. It was the first mechanical umbrella.

The mechanical umbrella opens completely by hand.That is why it is considered the most reliable in contrast to its "brother" - the automatic umbrella, which has the most complex, but at the same time very fragile design.

The collapsible accessory consists of a rod, frame, handle and tips. The rod is made of cold rolled metal. The accessory has several folding options: two, three, four, five and an umbrella-cane.

The dome, which is attached to a rod, is made of metal rods or spokes, various bushings, nuts and springs, depending on the complexity of the design. The rod is equipped with a tip at the top, and a handle at the bottom. They can be made of wood, plastic, or even ivory.

The pen is usually the object of design inspiration. Its appearance is not limited by any frame and can have absolutely any shape. Women's models are often adorned with rhinestones or imitation pearls.

The most common umbrella material is polyester. It does not absorb moisture and protects from exposure to sunlight, and therefore this material is the most versatile. Often this fabric is diluted with cotton fibers, which makes the material lighter and reduces the weight of the product itself. Also, in the manufacture of this accessory, cotton and silk fabrics, nylon are used.

Currently, the world market is full of various models of umbrellas, however, mechanical products, despite their durability and low price, are slowly losing their popularity. Many women prefer a semi-automatic, which is more comfortable than a mechanical one, and is inferior in price to an automatic.

Modern models of umbrellas are amazing. A large selection and relatively low price of mechanical products attracts the attention of many girls. However, unknowingly, many women can purchase a low-quality product that threatens to break down quickly. So how do you choose the accessory that suits you best?

First of all, you should start choosing a model based on your lifestyle. The size of the accessory directly depends on the number of folds of the telescopic rod: the more folds, the smaller the size of the product. So, for lovers of long walks and minimalism, a lightweight model for 3-4 additions is suitable, which can easily fit into a medium-sized handbag and will not cause unnecessary inconvenience to its owner.

Experts recommend paying attention to the quality of its frame before purchasing this accessory. The mechanisms of the umbrella must be sturdy and covered with an anti-corrosion coating. The material itself must be firmly attached to the rods and exclude the presence of holes or mechanical damage. For safer and more efficient use, the frame should be equipped with a special interlock design that will prevent it from everting out during heavy or stormy winds.

Of the materials for the frame of the dome, it is better to give preference to polyester with the addition of cotton. It is not recommended to purchase a product made of nylon, as it deforms quickly.

According to their purpose, umbrellas can be divided into several types: sun-protection, rain-proof and special. The latter type involves a slightly more complex construction of mechanical accessories intended for the beach or for those people who spend a lot of time outdoors.

The assortment provides for a wide variety of umbrellas in terms of color palette and decoration methods.Among them, you can choose a solid color and the most versatile accessory, or a more eccentric model.
